Lavender scones are a beautiful way to celebrate just about any morning. They'll fill your kitchen with a wonderful aroma that will have the sleepyheads in your family up before you know it. The key to a delicate and tender scone is keeping your ingredients cold... which is why several steps here include a refrigeration break. These scones could easily stand on their own but would also go great with clotted cream or a bit of fruit preserves.

Lavendar Scones

BAKE THE SCONES

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line the bottom of a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Put the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and lavender in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Whisk to combine.

Toss the cubed butter into the dry ingredients and place the bowl into the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.
